We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You. Because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world.

My Lord Jesus Christ:

Veronica showed genuine caring for You when she risked the ridicule of the people and the wrath of the soldiers in order to wipe Your sacred face. Help me to love You so much that I’d do anything for You, no matter what others think of me. And since You said that whatever I do to the least of the people, I do unto You, help me also to love everyone so much that I willingly and eagerly serve their needs no matter how I feel about it.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
